Authentic feel and taste of Mexico! The Birria was flavorful and tender. The best Birria I have had in Chicago hands down. The Machito tacos were crisp and reminded me of Mexico, it is hard to find Machito tacos made this way in Chicago. They brought me a taste of the Goat Head taco and I enjoyed it very very much. The crispness of the meat and tenderness was a great combination. They also have a different salsa if you ask that was really good as well. Service was on point, only bad part is the size of the place. It's very small but they do have a waiting area a couple doors down and come to get you when there is room. Great experience and food!

It has take us way to long to get @birrieriazaragoza. We fly in and out of Midway all the time. It is sooo worth a stop. This is the best goat birria I have had in a very long time...maybe since having @goatboyintl in KC!! We got the large plate bone in. Get the bone in, you get more of the goat fat. The fat is soft and adds to an over all flavor of the goat. The consome is for dipping and eating as a soup. We also got a cabeza taco. The meat in the head is rich and just a little more tender. Completely worth the comparison bites. Also you have to get a quesabirria. It is meat, cheese fried in the consome!!! Great experience, service, food, and homemade corn tortillas!!

Ah Chicago. You cold cold city. The moment I stepped off the plane, the familiar craziness of the city weather settled into my mind. I was home. Of course, one of Chicagos classics, Birrieria Zaragoza, was on my mind. I headed over straight from Midway to get one of my favorites: birria tacos. I'm a big fan of lamb, so you know I get excited for this place. High quality tortillas, delicious and succulent meat, I was in for a world of deliciousness to fill my stomach the rest of the day. Even though it was a blizzard outside, the warmness from the server takes that all away. The hospitality is the cherry on top of the delicious meal, and nothing can take that away from this cozy spot. I have much more to say about how amazing this place is, but really it just settles into your heart in its own corner, a nice warm memory that keeps you going. Come here - it's well worth it.

Birrieria Zaragoza is most FAMOUS for it's homemade "Birria", or 'Roasted Goat' (cooked in an earth-pit). Like Menudo, Birria is a 'Weekend' dish, because making it is a huge production that requires many people. But here one can eat Birria any day of the week. The restaurant is clean and well managed. Order at the counter and they will bring your food. I recommend sharing the "Platter". And definitely don't skip the delicious Birria.

Joanna was my server and she was amazing! My first trip into this establishment and I WILL be back! I originally went in to try a small plate of their Birria and had to try a couple other items! You have to try the cabeza taco as well and finish it off with one of their flan!!!!! Check out the photos sorry no photo of the flan, I couldn't get my phone out fast enough!

This Michelin Bib is still worthy of their ranking. The customer service and food quality are still top notch. This visit, we tried the cheese quesadilla, quesabirria, and consomme. All the food items were really good but were missing the little extra to make it a 5 star experience. Worth a visit to try if you haven't tried goat meat before. Overall, serves was personable and restaurant itself was very clean. Tip: This spot was featured on a Netflix special "Taco Chronicles" for some of the best Mexican food in Chicago.

I can't pretend to add any value with another review of a little restaurant this widely celebrated--a Michelin Bib Gourmand award for several years running, an appearance on Netflix's "Las Cronicas del Taco," and enthusiasm by most of 600-plus folks here on Yelp--that has a small menu intensely focused on a single item. That single item, of course, is roasted goat. Oftentimes, a restaurant devoted to an item this singular has perfected its craft, and Birrieria Zaragoza almost certainly qualifies. I went with the plato chico, surtido--that's just a small plate of rib meat, bones-in, served with three terrific house-made tortillas and the usual taco fixings (cilantro, diced onion, a spicy house-made salsa rojo), and doused with a wonderful consomme. Simple, but everything was just about perfect. This goat is less gamey that you might be used to with goat, which is fine, but I don't mind a little gaminess. Still great--beautifully tender stuff--and I suspect that's about the freshness of the product. The $16 price tag for this particular menu item might seem a little high, but you're basically getting three good-sized, superlative tacos. From that standpoint, well worth it. The wife went with a couple of quesabirria tacos. She was about as enthused as I was, i.e., muy mucho. Our server and the staff in general were about as welcoming and friendly as they could be, and the little diner-like storefront is super-charming.

Finally was able to come by to try the infamous birria! They were just recognized as a 2023 Michelin Bib Gourmand. My partner raves about this spot constantly, but they close by 6PM so get there early or plan for a lunch! The staff was really friendly and the atmosphere is very laidback like coming home for a family meal. There's a small parking lot on the left side and you can order at the counter. We started with the Quesabirria which was solid too with a slightly crisp outside with the melty cheese. The star of the show was the Large Bowl / Tazón Grande which includes tortillas, cilantro, onion, limes, picante hot sauce and arbol chiles. The goat was really tender and the consomme was flavorful. Tasted delicious. Also, the arbol chilies were definitely packing some heat!

We got 1 lb goat head/Cabeza w/ cilantro, cebolla, limones, picante, consomé y chiles de arbol & Molcajete salsa or tomato sauce that I forgot to ask exactly what it was but it was good! The roasted goat was absolutely perfect. So juicy, tender, and flavorful. 1 lb is a good amount between two guys. So much good flavor with the molcajete sauce and consome broth and roast goat. This made me very happy and a little sleepy lol. I love how they operate out of use the entire (former) residential building to seat people and cook on both floors. Service was top notch at the table and we were even greeted by multiple employees on our way out. Definitely a must visit spot if you're by Midway airport.

[Birrieria Zaragoza] Bib Gourmand Mexican restaurant in Archer Heights that specializes in only one dish: Birria. Featured on many articles and even on Netflix It was crazy busy when we walked in. Once you walked in it gives local mom & pops type of feel. The entire restaurant was packed but we happened to find seats in the back and you'll walk through the kitchen seeing them cooking up the goat meat. The Birria was amazing, very juicy. They provide condiments that you want to add such as onions, peppers, etc. We also ordered the horchata which was refreshing. Kinda reminded me of Cinnamon Toast Crunch milk. The food was good. The vibe and ambiance of the restaurant gives small local family shop and its busy. The service and the price point was good. Overall, 7.5/10. https://www.birrieriazaragoza.com 4852 S Pulaski Rd Chicago, IL 60632
